X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

Wolverine and the X-Men #19

Review: Wolverine and the X-Men #19

After #18 really annoyed me in its dark nature and shooting of a fun character I was really liking, I was glad to see that WatX was more rounded. It had a few dark bits, mostly to do with Kilgore and his band of sociopathic psychos, but the more fun elements were there.

I love all the little cameos by characters coming to try out for a teaching position at the school. Blade actually might have been a good one to hire, as long as you can keep him a bit more on the tamer side. As for Deadpool, I like how he didn’t even get half his name out before he’s rejected, not that he doesn’t try.

Good to see that Broo isn’t completely dead and has a chance at surviving. I really liked him! Him and Idie made a very interesting couple/non-couple and I hate how it left off in #18. Idie, on the other hand, is still suffering from some the psychological whammo that done to her, though yeah, it is kinda hard to tell where that and her original mental issues border, but still.

Lastly, Storm is back, yay! Since Uncanny had ended I didn’t know if she was going to stick with regular X-Men and that be her only title (I think that’s the only other one she’s been in?). Though it’s possible she could go into the background like Rogue and Gambit (which leads me to also wonder if those two will get any more face time, esp since Rogue is now only in Uncanny Avengers).

Overall, liking the upswing, let’s hope they keep this up.
